Anthropic has announced that its Fable 5 model will remain available to subscribers, following a period of uncertainty and extended deadlines. The model will be accessible under Max and Team Premium plans with reduced usage caps, while lower-tier plans will receive a one-time $100 credit before moving to a pay-per-use system. This decision comes as Anthropic faces competitive pressure from OpenAI's GPT-5.6 Sol and Moonshot's Kimi K3, both of which have been expanding their usage limits. The move aims to address user frustration and manage demand more effectively.
